Gurnee Volunteers Lay Sandbags To Keep Floodwaters At Bay

CHICAGO (CBS) — Sandbags are, once again, being filled by the hundreds outside of Warren Township High School in Gurnee.

Volunteers, ranging in age from six-years-old to those in their late sixties, filled sandbags at a feverish pace.

One volunteer, a 42-year Gurnee resident, arrived around 9:30 Saturday morning. “My husband and I ran down here and there were just a few guys from the village sandbagging. We asked if they needed help, they said yes, so we came back.”
